Psychological Well-Being of Junior High School Teachers

Abstract

This research aimed to assess teachers’ mental health and psychological well-being and create recommendations that will be helpful to teachers in coping with the factors of stress faced during the pandemic. The 18-Item Ryff Scales Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) was administered on 152 teacher-respondents. It was established that mental health and psychological well-being have a significant relationship with a p-value of 0.034, but the null hypothesis is denied due to the fact that the p-value is less than the computed Pearson r. Psychological well-being and mental health are correlated, indicating that either psychological well-being will improve mental health or excellent mental health will contribute to it. The study found that majority (90) of the teacher-respondents obtained moderate levels of Psychological Well-being out of 152 teachers who participated in the research.
